1 When Job answered, and said: 2 Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you? 3 I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know? 4 He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn. 5 The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed. 6 The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands: 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee. 8 Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell. 9 Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
